Guilt be gone.

Can I just tell you of all the sleepless nights I have had since I destroyed Skip's bumper and our house? I haven't been able to sleep or eat. The guilt has nearly destroyed me.

Well, there was that one nap I took yesterday and the almost full night's sleep the night before. OK, so I have been able to sleep. Nothing could take me away from my favorite past-time.

Also, I have been eating. The baby has needed nutrition. But I haven't enjoyed it. I promise you that! Except for the BLT I had at Sonic. That was just darn tasty. Again, it was for the baby.

Today is a new day and I, my friends, am free from guilt. Skip took the car to a locally-owned body shop and received a bid for the repair. The owner of the shop goes to our church and gave us an awesome price for the job. If it wasn't for him, we were looking at a major expense.

The house might be another story. Skip managed to "piece" it back together, but it definitely needs to be replaced. I still have a little guilt about that.

But I am pretty sure that I will go right on sleeping and eating like nothing ever happened.

I am so thankful to my man. He has handled this entire debacle with grace and mercy. I think he and his buddies have had several good laughs at my expense though. Every time I talk to him he has a least one or two more stories about female drivers. I will admit that I deserve any laughter coming my way. My driving record is not what I would call "sparkling" but it has been a long time since I have done anything remotely close to this.

Anyway, thanks honey. You are a man of honor.

P.S. Could you bring home some ice cream?

You'll have him eating out of your hand.

Ladies! I found a FOOL-PROOF way to get your husbands to run all your errands for you.

Are you ready?

This is pure genius!

First. Make sure your man is taking a nap then lose your cell phone. Make him call you 40 times until you can locate it in the deep recesses of your car, otherwise known as the passenger seat hiding under some Krispy Kreme napkins.

Second (and most critical step). While backing HIS car out of the garage make sure you don't check your mirrors so you can slam into the HOUSE and pull HIS bumper half-way off allthewhile causing significant damage to your garage.

Third. Pray that he hears the horrific noise and runs out of the house to survey the damage.

If you follow steps 1-3 then I PROMISE you next time he will take care of all your errands. He might even offer to take your children with him.

You have my Money-Back guarantee!
